As one last note, just a reminder that the Enterprise/network test side of Fluke Networks (everything we talked about here today) is now with NETSCOUT! So be sure to check us out there in the future.

I'm not sure what you mean?

I'm super happy to announce the winner of the LinkSprinter Network Tester chosen at random very scientifically by me closing my eyes and scrolling through the thread is... @Dashrender! Congrats!! I'll PM you for shipping information.

Aww.. thanks!

Dashrender

Thanks to @Minion-Queen for setting this up, and to @KendallHershey for fielding our questions and the contest!!

And most of all, for supporting MangoLassi.it!

@Dashrender Did you hear that Fluke Networks split and part of us was acquired by NETSCOUT? So we're currently transition our products and part of the company to NETSCOUT - although the datacom installation and certification will stay with Fluke. Here's a link that outlines everything a bit more: http://www.flukenetworks.com/content/fnet-netscout-social-migration-page

A quick follow up for @travisdh1 and @dafyre - The network taps we offer are through VSS Monitoring. They were a sister company to Fluke Networks, but were also part of the NETSCOUT acquisition.
Here's a link to a single port fiber tap that might be of interest:

But here's a more general view of everything we have:

I honestly don't have much of a background here personally, but I'm more than happy to connect you with our VSS team if you're looking for something more detailed or have additional questions! Just PM me.

The AirCheck tool sounds pretty intriguing. How does it compare to something like Wi-Spy (MetaGeek's USB dongle that works with their InSSIDer/Chanalyzer product)?

@crustachio They're really completely different products. The AirCheck is an instant-on custom built tool with active test mechanisms. It can do most everything that MetaGeek does plus optional directional antennas for locationing, profiles for easy attach and testing, network health, and so on. Does that help?

I just noticed @Dashrender's pretty pink mouse.

So cute.

And the Jimmy John's menu in the background.
